Another sporting scandal

Of course his name is Alastair!

I need AI to write a song in the style of Johnny Cash about Alistair the King Conker and his ball of steel!

I am happy to say that David "King Conker" Jankins has been cleared and the rightful Mens Conker champion of 2024.

The men's World Conker Championships winner has been cleared of cheating after a steel chestnut was found in his pocket.

David Jakins, 82, known as "King Conker", won the tournament in Southwick, Northamptonshire, last Sunday for the first time after competing since 1977.

A spokesperson for the World Conker Championships told the Guardian: "We have studied photos and videos of matches, interviewed judges and examined the chestnuts used by King Conker.

"The investigation has found no evidence that the steel conker was used. King Conker has been cleared of suspicion, and his name is being engraved on the trophy."

I am glad we can put this ugly incident behind us and get on with our lives.
